Spinning Little Orb

A little girl is combing her hair
A teenager decides what to wear
A mom is baking and running amuk,
A Dad is fixing the pickup truck
Choirs are singing and praising their God
Protesters stand against the facade
Dogs are barking and chasing balls
Cats are screeching within empty walls

Fans are cheering their favorite team
Children are starving and sleeping through screams
A beautiful baby just learned how to crawl
Gangs are forming and breaking the law
Couples are kissing, on their first date
2 minutes ago a woman was raped
A beautiful little baby was born
A father left a family in scorn
An artist painted a beautiful scene
An abused child woke with a scream
A long lost relative just arrived
A veteran committed suicide
A businessman signed a million dollar deal
A homeless man prayed for just one meal
A family spent a day at the mall
A bully pinned a kid to the wall
A father lifted his son in praise
A soldier died defending our ways
A couple just found, love at first sight
A son was tried and sentenced to life
A mother is soothing her child's cries
A bomb was dropped taking hundreds of lives

This ball in space is spinning so fast
Nothing stands still and nothing will last.
Each little life with its own little story
The pain and the suffering, the love and the glory
Someone just died and another was born
All this in a day on our spinning little orb
When you look in my eyes I hope you will see
That I am in you and you are in me
